TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – Cherokee Nation Foundation is now accepting applications for its ACT prep camp in June and the college-readiness camp in July.

“These camps provide wonderful opportunities for our students to become better prepared for the next step in their academic journey,” Janice Randall, CNF executive director, said. “Working closely with our staff and university admissions counselors, students will gain valuable insight to help them set their goals and prepare for success.”

The second annual ACT prep camp is June 8-13 at Northeastern State University. Rising juniors and seniors will receive 15 hours of intensive ACT prep instruction as well as college workshops focusing on admissions, financial aid and scholarships, essay writing and time management. CNF and NSU scholarships provide all food, lodging, materials and testing fees for the students. At the end of the weeklong camp, students will take the official ACT test.

The deadline for applications to the ACT camp at NSU is May 15.

The foundation is hosting the Cherokee College Prep Institute at the University of Central Oklahoma from July 12-17. The weeklong camp connects students with admissions counselors from across the U.S. to analyze, prepare and complete college applications, identify scholarship opportunities, and explore schools of interest.

This year’s participating university faculty include the University of Arkansas, University of Central Arkansas, University of Central Oklahoma, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Northeastern State University, Oklahoma State University, University of Oklahoma, University of Pennsylvania, Rogers State University, Stanford University, Bacone College and Yale University.

The deadline for applications to college prep camp is June 1.
